01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 tablespoon steak sauce 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon sesame oil, or to taste ¼ cup sliced onion 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root 1 (4 ounce) boneless beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced ½ cup broccoli florets ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional)

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the steak sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and brown sugar until smooth. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the onion and ginger, cooking them over medium-high heat until the onion starts to turn golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the steak, broccoli, mushrooms, and garlic, and stir everything occasionally as it cooks. Keep going until the steak is cooked through and the veggies have softened, which should take around 8 minutes. Finally, pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Let it cook for another couple of minutes so the flavors can meld together nicely.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the vegetables crisp and prevent the beef from drying out. Avoid freezing to maintain the best texture.
